This is a very cool idea, and I found out about it through an email list at the University of Regina. You can use a car, but not “own” one. And you don’t have to rent either.

That is a cool idea. I doubt anyone from Global is reading this blog because they said they don’t read blogs :) but THIS would be a good story to cover. I’m sure they would get more people involved if everyone knew about it.

They have another meeting tomorrow (Wed Aug 29) if anyone is interested

I’ve been a member of the Car co-op here in Vancouver (Co-operative Auto Network) for about a year now and I love it. I don’t own a car and get by just fine with public transit, my bike, and the car co-op.
Of course, size makes a big difference. The co-op here has over 2500 members and almost 200 cars scattered throughout the city, so finding a car nearby is usually pretty easy.
Good luck getting this going. I know the co-op here is usually pretty supportive if you need any questions answered.

I was part of a group that talked about doing this in Regina about 8 years ago, but some of the key people involved chickened out.

Jaybird, Global did show my video clip of the Rider game, but then again, we know a certain reporter likes to cover the Riders, but not bloggers ;-)
It happened to be through Youtube, or maybe CJME or Facebook that they heard of my video.
